1000$+ for both fixed and folders. I like knives way more than money. I have no debt and very little in the way of expenses(thanks Mom)so I can spend 70% of my income on toys. So far the most I have paid for a knife is 500$ for a WW2 FS Dagger but if I found a good deal on a Loveless or a Hogstrom and had the cash I would buy it. On the wrong side of 500$ I have different rules though. It would have to be an reasoanble investment as well as something that spoke to me.

Here is a rather pricey user probably a bit under a grand. The Winkler comp bowie is beautiful supurbly balanced and similar to our next Scrapper the DFLE.

Check out the balance. Can a stack of bills really compare to this?

Exotic materials and beautiful hamons in this Hogstrom. How exotic? Fossilized waluraus penis!

Their are knives that give you insight into another culture like this custom Pukko set.


I have always wanted a nice Fowler. Check out the lines on this one.


I love antiques. This Price Bowie is worth more than my truck.


One of the best investments in blades are euro swords. They have been undervalued for a long time and people are starting to value their heritage again. One good hollywood movie and chching$.



How much do you think a Soviet ballistic knife(blade shoots out of the handle) is worth?

This Oss instructors kit is the holy grail of WW2 collectors.


This is Fairbains personal Shanghai dagger.
